- Method / resource Under current climatic conditions, total global crop production could increase by 28%, from 4 200 to 5 400 mio. t DM, if multiple cropping is expanded on existing cropland.
- Observation There is considerable global biophysical potential to expand multiple cropping on existing cropland, particularly when irrigation is also expanded.
- Observation The gain in production stems partly from nearly quadrupling the area under rainfed multiple cropping.
- Association Local irrigation water availability constrains the irrigation-enabled multiple cropping potential.
